How many months pp and ppd are you at? Do you have a goal in mind? It's best to wean slowly, dropping a pump no more than once every week but ideally more slowly than that. However if you are less than 12 weeks pp it should be easier to dry up faster. I've heard cabbage leaves in your bra can help and also decongestant medicine like Sudafed, etc.

I am similar - my LO is 7.5 months and I am now at 4 ppd. I hope to finish by December/January and have been dropping slowly since 12 weeks. I think the key is doing it slowly and then you'll be less likely to get clogs or have any problems.

I started weaning at about 16 weeks pp, I'm now 24 weeks pp. I was at 5 ppd at 16 weeks I am now at 3 ppd. The 3 ppd has worked out more then I could have imagined so I've decided to hang on a little longer. I dropped pumps every 3 weeks until I was at 3 ppd. I plan to go to 2 ppd around dec 15 th.
